Fairly good

Rating: Null/10 (15 February 2004)

Surprisingly, this is a remarkable film. At the begining of it there are
some really dull editing, some efects that just look old and preachy
patriotic and moral discourses. But as the film starts to move into
Normandy, it starts to develop as an inspired epic with tons of
remarkable film making. Some of the happenings decipted here, by their
nature, seem to be real stories of veterans. I hate John Wayne, but even
in this film he fits rigth. The stealer of the show is Richard Burton,
with a great closing dialogue.
Not to be taken as an history lesson (no movie, specially from
Hollywood, should be taken as a such), but instead a great little
ilustration of the incredible and most bloody invasion of modern times.
